Coding and Robotics Camp

Coding and Robotics Camp
Monday and Tuesday

The campers have been so busy already this week.  Each day the fifteen campers start with an introduction to a coding concept.  Campers then used Scratch to explore the introduced concepts in a program of their own creation.  Today they explored "if/then" and "if/then/else" statements.  The concepts introduced this week are structures that are building blocks for coding regardless of the program/language used.




The second half of the morning is spent working on a robotics challenge.  Campers have worked with Ozobot and Sphero so far this week.





After lunch campers are able to work on individual projects based on their abilities and interests.  Some campers have built LEGO WeDo robots; other have started building LEGO Mindstorm robots; and others have continued coding with Scratch or Kodu to create their own video games.
